Verse 1:

G A D
A letter came today from my draftboard

D A
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire

G A D
It asked alot of questions 'bout my mama and my papa

A D
That ain't exactly what I call fair

Chorus:

G A D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

D A
Vancouver might be just my kind of town

G A D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

That tends to keep a good man underground

Verse 2:

G A D
A sad old soldier once told me a story

About a battlefield that he was on

G A D
He said a man should never fight for glory

I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong

G A D
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle

He's askin' me to sign a three year contract

I guess I'll catch the next bus out today

CHORUS (2X)
